also just to reiterate a big thing bout this thread... regardless of the intake, your power gains will be minimal at best... it's more of an eye candy/sound piece... nice thing about forge and K&N pieces is you can just take off the hose that connects the snorkel to the filter piece and youll have the same effect and sounds of an open filter.

i'm actually debating on whether or not to grab M7s heat shield with aerogel or whatever that thing is... or just WMWs turbo wrap and get an exhaust wrap to go with it... either way i go i'll post something on this thread to tell accordingly... and anyone looking into the DDMWorks Race Intake, i'm going to most likely sell mine to aquire a DoS intake for comparison purposes... 420 if you're going to come pick it up, and i'll install it on ur car no cost as well... if anyone buys it off me i honestly would prefer paypal before you come (so that way i can order the DoS and have it at my place probably by the time you come get and i install the race intake... wouldn't take more than half an hour either...). don't get your hopes up too much just yet tho, like i said i may try to get the heat shields first or keep the intake for potential dyno testing (as for the one comment about how to get air into both intakes... i figure two nice big fans on teh front of the car mimicking highway speeds or so, that way it's most like really driving the car
